Three years ago, we had three red bulls in the pen who really turned some heads. One was The Boxer, the second was Cold War and Knock Out was the third. Being a son of Rock M Sock M and out of a Yoicks daughter, Knock Out was a 3/4 brother to The Boxer and was to be lot 2 in the sale that year. Unfortunately, a degeneration in one testicle due to an infection kept our vets from passing Knock Out on his breeding evaluation so we decided to keep him as a clean up bull. The nine cows he was exposed to calved within 16 days and the results were outstanding! Unfortunately, we lost Knock Out late that year to an unrelated injury so this is the only calf crop. His dam, now a Dam of Merit, is also the mother of the well-known Bojangles and last year’s high seller, Bad Habit, to Triple S Livestock. These four sons along with his daughters in our replacement pen certainly make us wish he was still around!

Twin View Brass Knuckles 49F was the second bull on our fall show team. He stood beside lot 15 through the fall and held his own being selected Reserve Calf Champion at both Brandon and Agribition. He was also shown at the side of his eight year old dam. This pair was widely admired at our summer Field Day and when the time came to put the show string together, we really questioned our sense while halter breaking an aged cow. Disco 47X exemplifies why we breed Gelbvieh cattle. At nine years of age, she has a perfect, untouched foot and an udder admired by cows half her age. The decision to show her with Brass Knuckles was highly rewarded when they won Brandon AgEx and became the Reserve National Champion Female at Agribition. Not bad for a range cow! She had quietly went about her work years previous and became a Dam of Merit, has a son working for Nolan Pharis, a daughter at Border Ridge Gelbvieh and more retained in our herd. Brass Knuckles patterns much like Knock Out and offers a high performance package with a different twist to his pedigree, a big stout hip and a real herd bull character. You could argue this is the best female maker in the sale. He sells in his entirety and has all the goods to make a great impact on the Gelbvieh breed! Diluter Free.
